Marie Curie ITN ‘ChangingEmployment’

Mapping the changing nature of employment in Europe

The ChangingEmployment project is a 4.6million euro EU-funded Marie Curie Initial Training network that aims to identify the nature of the restructuring of European labour markets and economies as a result of current economic and social change. While exploring the impact on work relations and working lives, researchers – a new generation of policy-focused social scientists - will examine the implications for gender, ethnicity and different age groups at work.

The pioneering research project which is being coordinated by HRM will work with partners from eight European universities and nine social and industry partners

An eminent team of specialist supervisors will support 12 Early Stage Researchers (PhD students) and 3 Experienced Researchers (Post-docs). They will develop researchers’ skills in advanced social and comparative research methods, and through the variety of employment situations provide transferrable skills to undertake work with commercial, educational, governmental and third level agencies in the context of changed in working life.
